Checking the engine oil level
1. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
Note: If the car has been parked for a long time, warm up the engine for approximately 20 minutes.
2. Place the vehicle on a flat, horizontal surface.
3. Turn off the engine and wait five minutes.
4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a rag.
5. Install the oil dipstick.
6. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level in the engine crankcase. The oil level should be between the "F" and "L" marks.
The volume of oil between the marks on the dipstick is approximately 2 liters.
If the oil level is below the "L" mark, check for leaks and add oil of the same type that was filled into the engine up to the "F" mark through the oil filler neck.
7. Check the O-ring on the dipstick. If the O-ring is damaged, replace it.
Note:
- Avoid overfilling the oil, otherwise the engine may be damaged.
- Always check the oil level after adding oil.
Selecting motor oil
1. Use oil recommended by the manufacturer.
Oil quality:
- for AP1 - CD and above
- according to ACEA - B1, VZ, 35
- according to Ford specification - WSS-M2C913-B
Note: in the AP1 classification, the first letter indicates the type of engine for which the oil is intended: C - for diesel engines, S - for gasoline engines. Oil quality (oil class) the higher, the further from the beginning of the English alphabet the second letter is located.
2. Select viscosity (SAE) according to the temperature range diagram corresponding to the vehicle operating conditions until the next oil change.
Changing engine oil and filter
Caution: To avoid burns, change the engine oil when the engine has cooled down.
Note:
- when changing the engine oil, it is also recommended to replace the oil filter with a new one.
- although the engine oil change interval specified by the manufacturer is 20,000 km, it is recommended to change the engine oil more often.
- the frequency of engine oil replacement for turbocharged engines for Russian operating conditions is 7500-10000 km.
1. Warm up the engine to operating temperature and turn it off.
2. Remove the engine oil filler cap.
3. Unscrew the drain plug on the oil pan.
4. Drain the oil into a suitable container.
5. Using a puller, remove the oil filter.
6. Wipe the filter mating surface of the oil cooler with a clean cloth.
7. Apply a small amount of engine oil to the rubber sealing ring of the new filter.
8. Install the new filter and tighten it by hand until the sealing ring is fully seated against the mating surface of the oil cooler.
9. Using a puller, tighten the oil filter 3/4 turn.
Note: if you don't have a puller, you can tighten the filter by hand, after putting on a rubber or leather glove.
- Tightening torque - 18-21 Nm
Oil filter parameters:
10. Install a new drain plug gasket and tighten the oil pan drain plug.
- Tightening torque: 30-41 Nm
11. Fill the engine with new oil.
Note:
- For the type and recommended viscosity of oil, see the subsection "Choosing motor oil".
- When adding oil to the engine, always check the oil level using the dipstick. Do not allow the oil level to exceed the maximum (the "FULL" mark on the dipstick).
Filling capacity:
- dry engine - 8.0 l
- with filter replacement - 7.0 l
- without filter replacement - 6.8 l
12. Install the oil filler cap.
13. Check the oil level and ensure there are no leaks with the engine stopped and running.
